Question 1 options:

This is a flow of electrons (such as the flow of electrons in a wire to light up a lamp).


These stop the electricity from flowing (think rubber and glass).


This is slowing the flow of electrons (the current) and where some of the electrons' energy gets converted into heat.


These allow electricity to flow easily through them (think copper and aluminum).
